Angry_Gumball Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm not sure who else makes these but this is what they had: http://flatrides.com/Ride%20Index%20Pages/zerogravity.html Me thinks I'm gonna look at the flat rides site to see what other variations of the roundup/zero gravity rides exist.

Double0Kevin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The park released their new logo on Facebook today. I think it looks great. Simple and represents the park well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The new logo looks really nice. It looks much more modern than the old logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Totally impressed with the changes I'm seeing coming to SCBB this year. Definitely going to have to make a stop when we are up there in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfmman2000 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 For comparison: 100th anniversary 90s-2012 80s logo (rcdb.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I like the new logo! While the bottom half (type) remains familiar, the top portion is a fresh new look. I'm just curious as to how it will work against other colored backgrounds or if it will primarily live against a white background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmman2000 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 ^ I think that's exactly what they were going for: keeping parts their history intact while staying current. But the problem is, some things never go out of style. The old Boardwalk logo was one of those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 The new logo feels a little like early 2000's clip art to me. Like it belongs in a Powerpoint slide or something. I dunno...not a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I think the crisscrossing lines are distracting and it looks like spot lights or something. Also it kinda bugs me that the darker blues of the water and text are so close, but not the same exact color. More like this...

Double0Kevin Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I can understand both arguments, it's a little busy. I personally don't mind it, and when it comes down to it, it's just a logo. The park is still awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I like the logo a lot. It's more modern, but still has a classy boardwalk feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I don't love it, but it could grow on me. I think both logos look somewhat dated, but the previous one had some charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like it belongs on the breast pocket of a polo shirt from some exclusive golf course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Today I went to the Boardwalk to get in some rides and to check out Undertow. As far as Undertow goes there is hardly any progress on the coaster at the moment but I imagine once track starts showing up the ride it's self will go up very quickly. One thing I was surprised about was there were nine rides running instead of five. (They have been advertising that only five were open on limited operation days.) Giant Dipper was running extremely well and it smooth. The only ride that wasn't running very well was Haunted Castle or as I dubbed it today, "Broken Castle". A ton of the props weren't working at all and the whole ride seemed a lot darker than it has been in the past. Other than that I really enjoyed the light crowds and amazing weather at the boardwalk! Walking in to the Boardwalk! Sweet more rides are running than I originally thought! One of my favorite rides at the Boardwalk, Double Shot. As I said above the weather was very clear today. It was very strange not seeing Hurricane up on the upper deck. Fire Ball has been repainted and looks a lot better. As well as the Giant Dipper station. A look at the repainted interior. Close up of the repainted sign. And a look at the Broken Castle (Read above if you don't understand this.) The Log Ride side of the Boardwalk is blocked off while it is limited operation. Something interesting, these three games were featured on the TV show American Restoration! Little info about them. I will end this update with a shot of Giant Dipper!

Jew Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ugh, the logo is fine. It's the offseason. Dissecting logos is what we do. I agree with the criticisms though: like the attempt to modernized, but it still feels old. I would have gone even more retro (since that's hip now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Nice to see the Boardwalk get some TLC, paint-wise. It's a shame that Haunted Castle has a touch of 'off-season-itis' (as in not being fully functional). I think I do recall some audio (that familiar, catchy ending theme in the guillotine room) not playing, just the sfx only. This was back in August when I rode. I remember an earlier report (BlueFireGuy's?) showing how rusted Fireball looked. I'm glad that was addressed and now the ride looks like new (though a bit bare at the moment as it doesn't have its light fixtures mounted)!

Mechanic Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 At least they didn't add "YOLO" to the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep-O-Matic Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Old Logo > New Logo I agree with Wes. It does look like clip art for a powerpoint project. But as long as the company's happy with it, I guess that's all that matters. There was something magical and exciting about the old logo... I won't ever find that in this new logo. Oh well. Times change, and things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
154bmag Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I personally like the new logo. Not as good as the old one, but not bad. I think that the complaints are just nitpicking. After all, it's only a logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
